The Best Albums of 2017, According to Us

"While singing about falling in love in Ubers and 'off of subtweets,' Khalid's American Teen effortlessly bottled up 2017's teenage angst to dizzingly original results. The 19-year-old R&B/pop singer's lyrics about the ups and downs of being a young, dumb, and broke millennial are full of enough warmth and introspection that you don't have to be a teen to fall in love with his music, especially with songs like 'Location,' 'Therapy,' and '8Teen.' This is one artist I'm eternally grateful we get to watch (hear?) grow up." — QK
